The document discusses efforts by Utrecht University's Faculty of Science to strengthen links between secondary schools and the university. It outlines initiatives before 2003 which included curriculum development and outreach activities. A key new initiative since 2003 was the Junior College Utrecht program, which allows select secondary students to take university science and math courses. The program has led to improved student outcomes and curriculum innovations adopted by partner schools. Going forward, the document argues for activities that benefit all parties including schools, students, and university staff and students through collaboration and knowledge sharing.
